The Jacksonville Jaguars held on for a 25-20 win over the Buffalo Bills after a thrilling finale at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Sunday.

A crowd of 61,273, a new record for an NFL game at Tottenham, then watched the defences get on top, preventing a score for 22 minutes at the start of the second half.

The Bills were playing just their second international game – and their first since losing 34-31 to the Jaguars in another thriller at Wembley in 2015.

And the Buffalo fans, known as the Bills Mafia, created a raucous atmosphere in the second of this year’s three NFL games in London.
